## Notes

{{:wip.png?nolink}}  **Whoa!**  This section is incomplete for now, sorry! {{:wip.png?nolink}}

Rakesh changed flutes throughout the night, sometimes mid-song, but as I did a lot of listening with my eyes closed, I couldn't tell you when, sorry.

Early on (first or second tune), Rakesh and Béla played a unison line that was so perfectly in sync that with my eyes shut, I thought one of them was playing through electronics (to create the strange blended time that I was hearing)... It was only after I opened my eyes that I figured out what was really going on. Very good guys!
